  3 Legitimate ones:

  1 (best) Avira http://www.free-av.com
  2. Avast (also decent)
  3. AVG - lowest detection rates of all the free products, but, for some strange reason, the most popular… You’ll get more people “recommending” it than the 2 better AV products…

  This one will dectect, protect, and remove virus’s from your computer.

  Also for spyware protection download this free program as well, since from what you are saying up in your question, is actually spyware related and not virus related. That background issue is spyware. I;ve had it.

  A very good, free anti-virus available to download is AVG 8 AntiVirus:
  http://www.free.grisoft.com

  Or Avast! 4 AntiVirus:
  http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

  And for any spyware problems, get SpyBot - Search and Destroy:
  http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

  Also, for protecting your personal info and files, use Ad-Aware 2008 Free Edition:
  http://lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php

  All of them are free, as powerful as paid programs, like Norton and McAfee, and don’t use up as many resources.
  Just boot into Safe Mode (Press F8 when turning on the computer) and run full scans.

  Hope that helps.
